After I finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.
Dong Feng naturally didn't understand much, while Huo Kunmin had only a half-understanding.
The paper man Xu then looked sad.
The second uncle tapped his fingers on the table, but his expression was much more complicated.
He Zhi got a little closer to me and held my forearm.
Suddenly the second uncle said, "I'll go with you."
I was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, it wasn't impossible.
When I return to Xianglu from this trip, I will cut off all contact with the outside world.
All things have to be sorted out one by one after I come out.
Only then will I be capable enough to not be manipulated by others!
Although I want to help my second uncle change his destiny so that he can get married and have children, I am also worried that something will happen again during this period.
If he follows me, he will be safe.
After my thoughts settled, I nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, I looked at Huo Kunmin and asked in a deep voice: "Master Huo, has that woman Shuangqin been rescued?"
Before going to Huaili Village, Huo Kunmin said that he still had people in the mansion, and he would hide the two qins when Tang Quan got seriously ill again.
Now that Tang Quan has run away, if Huo Kunmin misses, I'm afraid...
Huo Kunmin nodded, and his second uncle said at the same time: "Yin Yang, I really need to thank the Huo family leader for this matter! But Shuangqin is not here at the moment. We originally planned to set off tonight to go to Huaili Village to help you on the corpse boat. She needs to buy some things, and she’s taking care of them. She’ll go directly to the paper shop later.”
"Let's go back and I'll introduce her to you."
When he said this, the second uncle's brows relaxed a lot and he smiled.
I hesitated for a moment, then looked at the paper man Xu and said, "Uncle Xu, why don't you come with us? If you stay alone in Jiuhe County, you will be lonely." My eyes especially fell on the paper man Xu. arm.
Although I didn't say it clearly, I knew that Paperman Xu must have understood what I meant.
As a result, the paper man Xu shook his head. He smiled and said: "I won't go. I have stayed in the paper shop all my life. At my age, if I die outside, the fallen leaves will not return to their roots."
"But..." I frowned and said directly: "With your broken arm, your paper-tying skills will be greatly reduced. If you have an enemy..."
The paper man Xu remained silent, but there was some indescribable complex sadness in his eyes.
"Yin Yang, you don't have to persuade me. Uncle Xu has his own plan for this matter." The paper man Xu spoke again, and his words became much more decisive.
The second uncle patted me on the shoulder and told me not to say anything more. He would then go back and "discuss" with the paper man Xu.
At this moment, the paper man Xu lowered his head, and the second uncle gave me another look, as if there was something behind his words.
I will say no more.
After staying at Huo's house for a while, Huo Kunmin briefly talked about Xie An, who I handed over to the militia.
Xie An's end was quite miserable. He had done a lot of harm to people before. Not only was he paraded through the streets and flogged, but he was also revived after dying.
Now he is imprisoned and tells the fortunes of those he has harmed so that they can make up for their mistakes.
If he takes this opportunity to harm others again, he will be punished with more severe punishment!
I didn't expect that the militia would treat Xie An in this way.
If Xie An changes people's lives, it is indeed a way to repay debts to those he has harmed.
The retribution is the karmic debt that Xie An himself has to bear.
After a pause, Huo Kunmin talked about the reaction of the people in Jiuhe County.
The people of the county first regarded Dixiang Kanyu as a disciple of Jiang Yihong, and his reputation was extremely high.
He used some tricks to get the limelight out and spread my name. Now the people in the county are talking about me before tea and after dinner.
After saying this, Huo Kunmin's eyes burned brightly, and he added: "Mr. Li, if it is possible, some families in Jiuhe County, as well as people from above, would like to entertain you. The Zhu family in Linxian County has also sent servants, and they have prepared a banquet for you." The generous gift is on its way."
I pondered for a moment and shook my head.
Huo Kunmin was startled, and he immediately told me that this kind of banquet would only have benefits and no harm.
I explained that I didn't intend to spread it so much, I just wanted to make the reputation of Di Xiankanyu and my master more famous.
Now that my name has been publicized a lot by accident, I have to be careful not to be too public.
The paper man Xu nodded and said: "Yes, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. This is a miscalculation on our part."
Then, Paperman Xu said that in this case, it is better not to stay in Jiuhe County for a long time and to go to Tang Town as soon as possible to avoid other accidents.
If Tang Quan turns back and both parties suffer, it will be a real loss.
I thought about it briefly and said we could leave tomorrow.
The second uncle also nodded in agreement.
At this point, I asked my second uncle and the others to go back first while Huo Kunmin and I chatted for a few words alone.
After everyone left, Huo Kunmin and I were the only two people left in the room.
At this time, Huo Kunmin was still frowning, with a lot of annoyance in his eyes.
His aura towards outsiders and the master has not diminished, but towards me he is too respectful.
I could see the reason and told him not to mind. I didn't mean to say that he exposed my identity to stay here, but I wanted to ask him to help me with something.
Huo Kunmin was stunned for a moment, then there was joy in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "How can Mr. Li ask for help? If anything happens, Mr. Huo will definitely do his best!"
I was silent for a moment and then said: "I want to ask the Huo family for a sum of money. I will not take this money for nothing. Either now, I will draw a house plan for the Huo family, or later, I will help the Huo family make a house." In addition, the Huo family leader needs to send someone to Huaili Village."
"Old man Li's wife is seriously ill in bed. She needs to go to a foreign hospital for treatment, and the Huo family leader needs to pay attention to her."
Huo Kunmin's face suddenly became more solemn, and he immediately said: "Mr. Li, this is just a trivial matter! If it weren't for you, my Huo family would be gone. I would prepare a sum of gold and silver and send it to the paper shop. As for the I will definitely take care of Old Man Li’s affairs!”
I shook my head and said that it comes down to one thing, if he helps me, I have to help him.
Huo Kunmin had a bigger smile on his face, and he solemnly said, "That will happen after I come back from Tang Town."
Anyway, I'm in a hurry to leave now. He can't keep me for too long. When I come back, I will be a more powerful Mr. Da.
The Huo family is following my lead and will just ask me to do some small things to stabilize the family business.
I nodded and said thank you.
After that, I drove my horse by myself, left the Huo family's new house, and returned to Funeral Street.
When they arrived at the door of the paper shop, He Zhi was counting the items with his servants. At this moment, He Zhi was beaming with joy.
I feel a lot more relaxed.
She urged me to go into the hospital first. She had already met Aunt Shuangqin, and now she was taking advantage of the opportunity to count the things before leaving.
I immediately went into the backyard.
There were only three people in the courtyard, the paper figure Xu sitting in the main room, and the second uncle drinking from a small cup at the wooden table in the courtyard.
And a woman in her mid-twenties with excellent temperament sat quietly next to her second uncle.
My eyes stayed on her face, and in an instant, the pupils shrank into small dots.
In fact, I will generally listen to my second uncle’s opinion regarding this pair of pianos.
But I also have to look at her personality. If she collides with my second uncle, I will probably object...
After all, only the second uncle is left in the Liu family. I must allow the Liu family to continue the bloodline.
Otherwise, I would be sorry for my father’s upbringing.
